Chapter 276: Oh no! A female ghost is haunting me!

Spiritual compatibility, as the standard determining one's strength in this era, is always a focus of attention.

And as the pinnacle family of Knights, every descendant of the Gordon Family has a spiritual compatibility infinitely close to over sixty percent.

But unfortunately, Jierte is not biologically related....

Although he has the same ink-black eyes and golden hair, he is after all not a true Gordon descendant.

Of course, only his parents know this; to the rest of the family, this brother is just someone his parents secretly had, and after not seeing him for a semester, the family gained a brother.

Fortunately, the timing matches up; who could know when they had a child?

At this moment, Jierte's spiritual compatibility is about to be revealed; his two sisters value him greatly, although it seems he is often with his aunt, but his two sisters are also not unfamiliar strangers.

Even the uncle who has been away from home for a long time has returned; of course, this is the first time you have seen him.

And this important ceremony was ultimately set to be held in the church, presided over personally by the great Pope, who is also Feili's father.

Under the gaze of all, the Pope recited the oath, while seated below were the Gordon family, some honest families, and of course some devout Knights.

They will together witness Jierte's ceremony.

As the holy water was consumed, spiritual energy continually surged from within, and Jierte's body gradually underwent some transformation.

He was surprised, feeling as if he had gained limitless power within his body, yet he did not see the Pope's astonished gaze.

Finally, under everyone's gaze, a result was slowly announced.

A 50% compatibility, an acceptable figure, Jierte also thought it was not bad, except that his aunt's face showed no smile.

Actually, Jierte's spiritual compatibility.... is zero.

Only she knows this; to avoid any unexpected situation, she does not want her nephew to suffer unwarranted external pressure.

At the same time she also realized that her nephew is very likely not a Gordon descendant.

Even the most useless person in the Gordon Family has a compatibility above 40%; regardless of the conclusion, since his parents brought him back, he is my nephew.

And she also did not choose to tell Jierte; the path he must walk is harder than she imagined, and it is not the road a normal person should take.

Everything remained normal, but Jierte became stronger; the fifty percent compatibility seemed verified, and he gained extremely great power.

Even with a seven-year-old body he could repel his Minotaur teacher, and his mind became ever sharper.

It seems.... some negative buff has been suppressed.

Now Jierte can already wield a great sword as tall as himself.

He seems to already be able to complete his second oath....

Besides that, recently some strange things have happened; you often find dirty things on your bedside table, including shiny gold coins and some small snacks.

And your first reaction is: 'Oh no! A female ghost is haunting me!'

You have only seen this situation in the days after you previously fed cats; and since you stopped going to that hidden place, it has never appeared again.

So this can only indicate one problem! That is, that female ghost has haunted you!

Although you are fearless, a gentleman does not stand beneath a dangerous wall! You immediately chose to go to the Pope to have yourself exorcised!

"Child, you have no problems."

"Have you encountered something strange?"

The Pope looked kindly at the handsome-faced child before him, concerned about his affairs.

After all, he is the best candidate for my future union with the Saintess; it depends on whether Feili can win him over.

However, looking at it now, the progress is worrisome.

"I feel.... I seem to be entangled by something."

Jierte said with a serious expression, as if he were truly entangled by something.

But in fact, he is indeed entangled by something, and that thing is not a female ghost, merely a small thing attracted by his physique.

The Pope's expression turned grave; he carefully examined Jierte once more, yet still found nothing strange.

"Could this kid be teasing me?"

The Pope found nothing besides a few cat hairs on Jierte's body....

"Jierte, do you keep cats at home?"

Jierte's heart skipped a beat; Your Holiness the Pope indeed discovered something!

Even cat hairs could be detected!

"Your Holiness, I swear by the Gordon Family's Oath that I do not keep cats at home!"

"But I went there before with Feili...."

He recounted what had happened earlier, but the Pope also knew this, as Feili had told him personally.

Afterward, they also went to check that place, and it seemed that after that, all the cats there had disappeared.

Thinking of this, the Pope pondered a bit, feeling that pretending to be an old godman to swindle Jierte would work, after all this child's mind is not very sharp.

"Jierte, this matter, whether serious or not, mainly depends on you."

The Pope wore an inscrutable expression; Jierte instantly believed him, just short of shouting 'Master!'

"Your Holiness the Pope! What should I do?"

"Nothing else, just continue to observe your Knight's Oath."

"Wish you peace and smooth sailing, child."

"After the Pope's bout of persuasion, you begin to practice the Knight's Oath more diligently, and the best way is naturally to challenge strong people."

"Thus, you directed your sinister gaze at your innocent aunt...."

"Ouch ouch ouch!"

"Aunt! Stop hitting! Stop hitting!"

Outsiders always say the aunt has a bad temper; Jierte previously did not understand, but now he believes it.

The aunt is truly strong, far stronger than his previous Minotaur teacher by countless times, and this is even though the aunt is already injured.

Jierte only saw a burst of extremely dazzling Holy Light, after which he was pressed down and given a fierce beating.

You little rascal, you still have the idea to target your little aunt?

In her words, there was no sign of anger; instead, there was some excitement and teasing.

The Gordon Family's descendants, upon contacting spiritual energy, all gain an ability similar to Holy Light—it not only strengthens the body but also possesses unparalleled versatility.

But.... these are not the most important.

The most important thing is, which decent family's aunt would use a big move to beat a child!

Watching Jierte cry and fuss on the spot, the aunt's mouth corner could no longer be held back; just as that charming mouth corner was about to lift, her face suddenly turned pale.

Jierte felt the beating stop, his eyes brimming with tears as he looked at his aunt; he saw that she had returned to her usual aloof demeanor, but her whitened lips and trembling mouth corner seemed to reveal that she was not feeling well at the moment.

"Aunt?"

"I'm fine, keep training."
